Strictly necessary
Session and authentication tokens for the client area, cart contents, your selected region and currency, CSRF protection, and load-balancer affinity. These cannot be switched off without breaking checkout and sign-in.
Preferences
Remembers your region, currency, language and interface choices so you are not asked again on each visit. Expires after 12 months.
Analytics
Aggregated, IP-truncated page and conversion measurement used to decide what to fix. These are off until you accept analytics cookies. Tools we may use include Google Analytics, Clicky, Zoho PageSense and Smartlook. We do not sell or share this data.
Marketing
Attribution and remarketing tags for our own campaigns, such as AdRoll. Off until you accept, and never set for visitors who choose “essential only”.
Support chat
If you open the live-chat widget (Zoho SalesIQ), it sets cookies needed to run the conversation and remember it across pages.
Managing cookies
Use the Cookie preferences link in the footer at any time, or clear cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and checkout from working.
Third parties
Payment providers — Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, CCAvenue and InstaMojo — set their own cookies during checkout to complete the transaction and prevent fraud. Their own policies apply to those cookies.
